FLORAL SWEATER EARWARMERS.Yes my lovies, Winter is just beginning and the days are getting shorter & colder, often leaving you feeling blah and ho hum. But don't worry I found the perfect accessory to keep your precious little ears all toasty while still remaining stylish! Urban Outfitters is just the best! They have a soft knit sweater material earwarmer with a large floral detail on the side. How cutesy is that? Need some variety? The earwarmer comes in three shades ; raspberry. snow. and black. FYI: You won't find this item in your local UO, you have to purchase it exclusively online at www.urbanoutfitters.com. And it's certainly pocket friendly only stripping you of $24.00 bucks! Happy shopping.

It's gotta be the shades. Honestly, when have you ever seen fashion extraordinare designer Karl Lagerfeld WITHOUT his dark shades? [ moment of silence ] That's right you never have, lol. It's pretty much become his trademark. "Dark glasses are like portable eye shadow and the world looks more beautiful through tinted glasses. Everybody looks 10 years younger," states Karl Lagerfeld. "That is why I wear dark glasses always."

It was leaked back in the Summer months that Mr. Lagerfeld would be launching his own collection of men's & women's eyewear in partnership Marchon Eyewear, one of the most prominent eyewear companies around. Well, the wait is over kiddies! January of 2008 will be the launch of the first collection from Lagerfeld with his sunwear collection. The new collection has been developed in collaboration with Karl Lagerfeld and the design duo Christian Roth and Eric Domege. The second collection will consist of optical eyewear in the Spring. I expect nothing but perfection from each collection! Kinda makes me want to wear glasses again. Just so I can tell people, Yeah I'm wearing my Lagerfeld's honey, lol.

Jade Jagger and Katharine Hamnett have joined forces with the likes of the Scissor Sisters, Rihanna and Timbaland to create a new collection - Fashion Against AIDS - with H&M. All the artists involved have participated free of charge to design a range of T-shirts, tank tops and hoodies for the project, which was initiated by charitable organization Designers Against AIDS. The aim of the organization is to raise awareness of the spread of HIV/AIDS among young people. The pieces run the gamut from subtle patterns representing those affected to more overt means of getting the message across; a contribution from Hamnet - a T-shirt emblazoned with "Use a condom!" - is typically vocal.

"It's a collection that's rich in color, with considerable commitment going into every garment," explains H&M's head of design, Margareta van den Bosch. "The artists have created personal prints with a strong sense of style." And with a top price of $19.99, there's no excuse for not getting involved. H&M's Fashion Against AIDS range will be available from February as part of its younger-end Divided label, with 25 per cent of the proceeds going to HIV/AIDS-prevention projects around the world.

The Italian fashion house Prada, which has shelved plans to go public five times since 2001, says it will try again next year.

The company said today that its board has approved plans to list on the Milan stock market. It has named Intesa Sanpaolo, UniCredit, and Goldman Sachs as joint global coordinators and bookrunners. Mediobanca will be an adviser.

According to Women's Wear Daily, Prada's chief executive, Patrizio Bertelli, said in a statement, "We are heading toward a new era in the company's history, with solid development potential on the basis of strong momentum already shown by our results in the first semester of 2007."

Most of Prada, which also includes the Miu Miu label and Church's shoes, is owned by Miuccia Prada, her partner Bertelli, and members of their family. The company earned $104 million in 2006.

Last year, the company sold a 5 percent stake to Banca Intesa, valuing Prada at 2 billion euros, or nearly $3 billion.

Luxury-goods companies have done well in recent years. But the housing slump and credit crunch, which have already weighed on consumer spending in general, may start to move up the income ladder. Still, demand from the new rich in Russia and Asia may continue to stoke demand for fashion labels—and perhaps demand for Prada shares next year, as well.

I'M GOING BLACK TO BASICS BATCH.For the fall season, I must say I was beyond excited to see a burst of bold colors shine through! If you think about fall fashion, your wardrobe normally consists of nothing but gray, brown, tan and the you-can-never-go-wrong-with BLACK. In the midst of the Winter season, I've noticed that the same celebrities who lit up the red carpets with jewel tones, prints and color have gone back to basic black for a brief moment. Not that there's anything wrong with black. I see why it's so heavily worn - it's basically goes with ANYTHING and it's an instant fix for hiding those few holiday pounds you packed on; Black gives the appearance of a smaller silhouette, of course. Works for me!

THE BEGINNING OF THE JURNEE..I'm so so pleased to see Jurnee Smollett starting to catch some buzz in the entertainment world. I've watched this blossoming young actress grow up right before my eyes it seems like! From the sidekick friend to Stephanie Tanner on Full House, to a lead role inEve's Bayou, to the more recent appearance in the movie Roll Bounce. She will soon add to her growing resume (which looks like her best role yet) the upcoming flick, The Great Debaters. To add to the excitement, she's also been the chosen starlet to be featured Vanity Fair'sVanities section! The section which features up & coming actresses to look out for showcasing her a 1950's pinup type glamour shot. She's looks stunning! I expect nothing but huge things for this gorgeous gal in the future. Look out world!

I haven't done a "Yummy item of the day" in a few days which a couple of you readers have been asking me about! Guess you guys like seeing the items I randomly stumble upon in my daily fashion browsing, lol. Anywho, there's a uber haute women's streetwear line, DimePiece which creates some fantabulous graphic tees & more recently hoodies in their collection. For the winter season, the ladies of DimePiece are serving up an exclusive limited edition t-shirt just in time for the holidays and it's stamped with a great message! "Make Up Not War"!
